Review Quotes:
Readers who have come to expect elaborate maps, enchantments, magic weapons and creatures, a checked but still- impending Doom at the end as a promise of sequels, and, of course, a capital-P Prophecy in their fantasies will not be disappointed. While cheering on the doughty quester as she discovers unexpected wells of courage and loyalty within herself, they may well come to sympathize with those hapless wraiths too. A romp with tongue firmly in cheek.
--Booklist (starred review)

Sparkes' writing is witty, her characters charming, and the Isles of Peryll are a swirl of bright color and rich texture. . . . Readers will be drawn in by the rich worldbuilding and the suspense as Tassie attempts to defy the Prophecy. An irreverent, laugh-out-loud love letter to fairy-tale adventures featuring an indomitable hero.
--Kirkus Reviews

Prophecy meets pratfall in this gleefully self-aware fantasy from Sparkes. . . . Dangling plot threads seed excitement for future installments while delivering an appealing fantastical experience.
--Publishers Weekly

The book is fast-paced and can be quite silly at times, with humor reminiscent of Monty Python and other quirky British programs.
--School Library Journal
